Building Accuracy and Speed
. . . . .
Speed Builder
After you pass the accuracy activity, KeyWords gives you a speed builder
activity. You cannot go straight to the speed builder activity; it always starts
automatically after you pass the accuracy activity. Even if you’ve completed
the accuracy activity before, you must go through it again before you can work
on the speed builder.
KeyWords shows you your goal before the activity, and afterwards, it shows
you whether you met the goal. (For more about goals, see page 141.) Goals are
based on the number of words you type per minute. Type the text on the
screen and press the space bar when asked to do so. As you type, the progress
bar will show you the rate at which you should be typing words to meet your
goal.
When you finish the activity, a message will show you whether you met your
goal. If you met your goal, you will see a message like this:
If not, you will see a message like the one below. After you press the space bar,
you will see a message asking if you want to try the speed builder again. Press
Y for yes or N for no.
